Now THAT is a deft political move. Sweden must REALLY want the Indian multi-role fighter contract!
I wonder if the Sov, er, Russians can match it?
Not really a big deal considering that the Swedes need a bit of additional funding for their next generation sub project given that Norway & Denmark have wavered in recent years.
The Russians have already proposed a variant of their Amur submarine equipped with the Brahmos missile for the Indian navy’s second line of SSKs(first being the French Scorpene).
“I wonder if the Sov, er, Russians can match it?”
- Or the US..
When it comes to ‘Bang for the buck’, The Gripen is way ahead of anything the US has on offer.
